purpose of this site

The purpose of the Village of Herkimer Master Plan 2020 web site is to provide a centralized location for all materials composing the Master Plan's development. This will include:

Source materials that exist and have relevance to the Village, its history, and surrounding influences;

The content that makes up the Master Plan throughout its development. This means that we do not apologize for the rough and raw nature of the Master Plan as it is being developed. We consider on-going transparency to be critical to ensuring acceptance of the final Master Plan.

Input Forms that will be used to solicit input, feedback, and comments on the developing (and final) Master Plan for the Village of Herkimer.

NOTE that this Master Plan is an effort to define where the Village of Herkimer will be in the year 2020 and beyond. So visualize what the Village should be as if you were describing it to someone in a conversation following the question "where are you from?"

We want your answer to that question to be one that makes the listener desire to come to the Village of Herkimer and for you to be proud of the answer you give.

So - any and all assistance, input, or ideas are welcome. We ask that you keep this a positive dialog and focus on future possibilities and not banter on historic failings.

Master Plan 2020 is named based on the belief that we of the Village of Herkimer can develop a positive 2020 vision of the year 2020.
